Used in FDM printing across industries including automotive, aerospace, wind energy and more.
Carbo3D has successfully been used in city car connectors in by EDAG’s award winning city bot as well as cleats for wind energy urbines by REST.
CARB-E: near-zero mechanical recycling & high-performance recycled carbon fiber filament
Carbon Cleanup GmbH
Want to explore the potential of this innovation?
This filament (rCFrPETG) represents a significant breakthrough in additive manufacturing as the first application of filament reinforced with mechanically recovered “Fiber Needles.”
The innovation lies in the proprietary CARB-E technology, which replaces energy-intensive recycling with a purely physical, dust-free process. By successfully reintegrating these high-quality recycled fibers into the polymer matrix, the material delivers superior dimensional stability and layer adhesion, solving critical warping issues common in FDM printing.
Ultimately, this filament proves that lowering the carbon footprint and achieving high-performance reuse can be combined in a truly scalable recycling solution.
:
- True circularity: 100% rCF and recycled matrix formulation.
- Eco-Efficient: Produced via CARB-E Technology,
near-zero footprint recycling process. (=0.036kg CO2eq/kg). - Performance: Enhanced strength, stiffness and print stability.
- Pure Formulation: No additives or colorants.
100% recycled CF in Automotive
This high-performance filament – Carbo3D- is derived entirely from recycled carbon fiber via CARB-E Technology. By retaining structural integrity while drastically lowering the overall CO2 footprint , this material proves that high-value reuse is now a scalable reality for composite manufacturing.
CityBot Connectors
Integrated into the CityBot, this solution combines reversible adhesive joints with 100% rCF to ensure rapid assembly and non-destructive disassembly- advancing circular design for urban mobility.
100% recycled CF in Wind Energy
Segmentable Rotor Blade Cleats
Engineered for debonding-on-demand adhesive systems, these cleats leverage Carbo3D and optimized print geometries to align internal forces perfectly with the part’s architecture. This results in efficient, controlled load introduction- a sustainable solution for next-gen wind blades.
